Analoge Meditationen

29.10.2015 19:30 – 21:00

Analogue Meditations – an acoustic intervention by Julie Bräuning (text/concept) with Mario Marchisella (music) as part of the solo exhibition Wir tun einfach, als ob wir nicht da sind (engl.: we will act as if we are not there) by Marianne Halter.

  • Zwei Personen sitzen an einem kleinen Tisch, um sie herum sitzt mit etwas Abstand ein Publikum.
  • Zwei Personen itzen an einem Tisch, die rechte Person spielt Gitarre während die linke Person etwa von einem Papier abzulesen scheint.
  • Zwei Personen sitzen an einem Tisch, die rechte Person scheint an einem Instrument etwas einzustellen, die linke Person schaut ihr dabei zu.
  • Zwei Personen sitzen an einem Tisch, die linke Person liest etwas von einem Zettel ab, die rechte Person hört ihr zu.

As a kind of complementary counterpart to the exhibition of Marianne Halter acts the acoustic intervention Analogue Meditations by actress Julie Bräuning (text / concept), which she performs for the first time live with musician Mario Marchisella.

In short sequences everyday, mostly private and analogous actions are meticulously described. These mini pieces contrast and complement the scenery and images of the exhibition, which are located in the public-urban space thematizing processes that are disconnected from the individual.

Permiere of the radio play was at the end of September 2015 as part of Kurzstrecke / Nr.42 at Deutschland Radio Kultur.

Wir tun einfach, als ob wir nicht da sind

The thematic starting point for the solo show (engl: We just pretend we are not there) are extreme states in civilization and nature. Tipping points in which the achievements of civilization begin to falter or even collapse.
